And so

Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

For a call from a friend The same, it's the same

Why's it always the same?

Annie waits for the last time The clock

Never stops, never stops, never waits

She's growing old, it's getting late And so he forgot, he forgot, maybe not

Maybe he's been seriously hurt

Would that be worse? Headlights crest the hill

Shadows pass her by and out of sight

Annie sees in dreams

Friday bingo, pigeons in the park Annie waits for the last time

Just the same as the last time

Annie says

"You see this is why I'd rather be alone" And so

Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits

For a call from a friend The same, it's the same

Why's it always the same?

Annie waits as the last Headlights crest the hill

Who will be the one forever more?

Annie, I could be

If we're both still lonely when we're old Annie waits for the last time

Just the same as the last time

Annie waits for the last time

Just the same as the last time Annie waits

But not for me
